A mash-up (above) of Cher’s new cover of the ABBA classic “Gimme Gimme Gimme (a Man After Midnight) with Madonna’s “Hung Up” ( the dance smash that sampled the ABBA classic) has taken the internet by storm.
Billboard has even paid its remixer, DJ Alex Simpson, some attention. There is also an alternative, though similar, version making the rounds (below).

Cher recently told The Hollywood Reporter: “After filming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking, ‘Why not do an album of their music?’ The songs were harder to sing than I imagined, but I’m so happy with how the music came out. I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”
Asked by a follower about her takes on the other songs, Cher replied on Twitter: “Each Song is its own special Entity. Waterloo is Homage to Benny & Bjorn…Many Of Them Are my version of their dreams. If you Listen to Fernando you know it’s theirs. Benny & Mark Did track.Waterloo, Mamma Mia Are Just FUN..One Of Us Is (crying emoji). Chuiqitita….Ahh.. Name of Game (wind and snowflake emoji).”
